Plymouth and District branch
The Plymouth and District branch is run by a group of volunteers who work together to provide autism support, information and signposting. We have three different peer support groups: Autism Plymouth Parents Support Group, Plymouth Autistic Women's Group, and the Plymouth Autistic Adults Group. You are welcome to join one or all of the groups. You are welcome to join one or all of the groups.

Our groups offer peer support only. Speaking about problems collectively and sharing experiences can be very helpful and is welcomed. However we are not a crisis service and may be unable to give specific advice on problems such as housing, employment, medical issues, or benefits. We can however signpost you to other services and professionals.
Useful links are provided which can be accessed by the group pages below.

Volunteer with us
If you are keen to make a difference to the lives of autistic people and their families, to improve the understanding and acceptance of autism, and to volunteer at one of our groups then please email our Branch Chair.
I am autistic. I don’t have autism and I am not a person with autism. I am autistic and I am proud of it.
NEW online branches
With regular meet-ups online, our charity's online branches are a social space for autistic people to reach out and seek peer support for a shared interest, identity, or experience. They're totally free to join, and may be a more accessible option to some than an in-person meet-up. All autistic people are welcome (under 16-year-olds must be supervised by an adult, and people that need more support must bring their support carer with them).
We currently have online branches for:
• Arts and crafts
• Book club
• Employment and the workplace
• LGBTQ+
• Running
You are not alone
